BRUSH-MAKING MACHINE.

Specification of Letters Patent. Patented 11119 29, 1915 Application filed November 24, 1913. Serial No. 802,683.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CONRAD Jonsr, a citizen of Germany, and a resident of Toledo, in the county of Lucas and State of Ohio, United States of America, have invented a certain new and useful Brush-Making Machine; and I do hereby declare the followthe making of brushes of the-compound or multiple bristle-tuft type, but is not re stricted to such use. as it may be used in all connections for which it may be adapted or appropriate.

The object of my invention is the provision of an improved machine of this character, whereby a plurality of bruslrbacks of respective sets can be successively drilled or filled in a continuous operation, thus enhancing the practicability. and commercial value 0" ma chines of this nature.

A further object of my invention is the provision of a machine of this character adapted for the drilling and filling or either, of brush-hacks of different forms and styles during a continuous or cycle of operation of the machine. thus enabling a single machine to perform at one time the work of two machines.

A further object of the invention is the provision of simple and efiicient mechanism foi carrying and directing the move ments of hrush-bacl-rs or other work-pieces when being acted on. Other objects and advantages of the invention will be apparent to those skilled in the art from a reading of the following detailed description thereof.

The in vention is fully described in the following specification. and whilein its broader aspect, it is capable of embodiment in numerous forms. oneembodiment thereof is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a left side elevation of a machine embodying the invention. Fig. 2 is a front elevation thereof with parts broken away. Fig. 3 is a right side elevation of the machine. 4 is an enlarged top plan view thereof with parts broken away. F ig.

5 is an enlarged front elevation of the brushback carrying slides and guide parts in assembled relation with a set of brush-back clamping-blocks broken away. F igs. 6 and 7 are top plan and end views thereof, respectively. and Fig. 8 is a diagram of one path of movement of the drilling orfiller parts relative to an associated pair of brush-backs, the backs being shown as of different styles.

Referring to the drawings, 1 designates the portion of the machine frame which carries the parts and mechanisms embodying the features of my invention, and which is shown as being substantially U-shape, and

2 the frame part which is disposed in front of the part 1 at one side thereof and has the table part :2 extending laterally from the left side of its top, said part 22 carrying the drilling and filler mechanisms of the machine. both of which mechanisms are commonly used in machines of this class, and which, in themselves, contain no patentable features. Of these mechanisms 3 designates. a head or chuck for carrying a drill 3, and 4 the filler nozzle. which drillhead and nozzle. in the present instance, are horizontallv spaced as shown inFig. 4t.

' Mounted for forward and backward movements in a suitable guide-way on the top of the frame part 1 over the crotch or open portion thereof is a table 5. which is provided for a distance rearwardly from its forward end with an opening 5 A vertical guide-plate or part 6 is rigidly carried by the table 5 at its forward end, and may lie integral therewith or secured to the table in a separable manner, as by having lugs or arms 7 projecting rearwardly therefrom and bolted to the adjacent end of] the table 5 at the sides of the opening 5 therein. The guide-plate 6 extends above and below the plane of movement of the table 5.

A carrier-slide or head 8 is guided for present instance, has dovetailed engagement with the carrier-head 8, as best shown at 9 in Fig. 7. The slide-plate 9 in turn carries a brush-back holder or carryingplate .10 for horizontal sliding or reciprocatory movements relative thereto, being in dove-tailed or other suitable sliding connec-,

tion with the front side thereof, as best shown at 10 in Fig. 7.

The plates 9 and 10 are cut away or open at their central lower portions, as shown at 11 in Figs. 2 and 5 toenable them to straddle subjacent parts of the machine and to have free horizontal movements relative thereto,

and the guide-plate 6 also has its lower end bifurcated or vertically slotted, as at 12, for the same purpose.

The brush-back holder 10 is of suitable length, in the present instance, to accommodate a set of two pair of brush-back clamping-blocks 13 at each side of the opening 11 therein, and the plate 9, which really forms a relatively movable backing-plate for the holder-plate 10, is preferably of approximately the same length as such holder-.

plate, as shown in Figs. 5 and 6. The

clamping-blocks 13 of the different pairs are mounted for relative vertical reciprocatory movements on'respectivc dove-tail form of guide-ribs 14 on the front side of the holderplate 10, and each block has an apertured lug 1 projecting rearwardly therefrom into a registering vertical groove 16 in the associated guide-rib 14. A hand-screw 17 projects down through each groove 16 and the lugs therein and has right-hand threaded clamping-blocks 13, the arrangement of the fingers 19 being changed to suit the shape of the back to be clamped, The hrush hacks to-he drilled are designated 20, and those which are drilled and ready for the placing of bristle-tufts therein are designated 20. The. l'n-ush-haeks of each set may he of the same. or of different styles and shapes, as it may he desired to make the same style or different style brushes at the same time.

The plates 9 and 10 are normally caused to move together as a single unit by the provision of a spring-finger or detent 21 on one of such plates, the plate 10 in the present instance, and a coacting recessed or notched part on the other plate, as best shown in Fig. 6. The part 22 is provided with two notches from one to the other of which the detent 21 may move under pressure whereby 'to yieldingly hold the plates 9 and 10 in either one of two positions of relative ad-' justment.

The means employed, in the present instance, for imparting relative movements to the plates 9 and 10 is as follows: Pivoted, as at 23, to the top edge of the slide-plate 9 is a rocker-dog 24, which has one end portion apertured to loosely receive a pin 25 projecting upward from the top edge of the holder-plate 10 and has its other end formed with a V-notch, as shown, for engaging with a fixed pin 26 on the top edge of the carrierhead 8 when the plates 9 and 10 are moved in one or the other direction relative thereto,

as the case may be. When the plates 9 and 10 are in one "or the other of their relative positions of adjustment, the dog 24 is inclined or stands at an oblique angle to the top edges of the slide-parts 8, 9 and 10 with the point of the V-notched end thereof which is adjacent to the pin 26 in position to pass freely under said pin and with the other point of such end of the dog disposed in the path of movement ofsaid pin, as shown in Fig. 6, Upon a movement .of the plates 9 and 10 to the right from the position shown in Fig. 6. the right-hand point of the notched end of the dog will pass under the pin 26 and the left-hand point of such end will move in contact with the pin so that a continued movement of the plates 9 and 10 relative to'the plate 8 will impart a rocking movement to the dog 24 and a consequent relative movement to the plates 9 and 10 sufficient to move the detent 21 into engagement with the right-hand notch of the coact: ing. part 22. \Vhen the plates 9 and 10 are in either one-of their relative positions of adjustment the pin 26 will stand spaced a predetermined distance from the upstanding one of the points at the notched end of the dog 24 soas to permit the plates 9 and 10 to have-limited reciprocatory movements together relative to the carrying-head 8 without effecting a tripping of the dog 24 and a consequent shifting of the relative positions of said. plates. The purpose of the plateshifting dog it will he hereinafter more fully described.

A large ratchet-wheel 27 is mounted within the opening of the frame-part 1 on a shaft 28 therein, and fixed to the opposite sides of this wheel are the pattern .camwheels 29 and 30, the former of which determines the vertical reciprocatory movements of thecarrying-head 8, while the latter determines the horizontal 'reeiprocatory movements of the slide-plate 9 relative to the carrying-head 8. 31 and 32 designate vertically movable slide memhcrs which are suitably. mounted for such purpose, one at each side of the wheel 27 in guideways 33 provided in the respective sides of the frame 1 within the opening thereof, as shown in Figs. 2 and 4. The slide-member 31 has a stud or roll 34 projecting therefrom and resting upon the top of the cam-wheel 29, and the upper end of this slide is provided with a head 31 having a flat top edge upon which a roll 35, that is carried by a horizontally disposed lever 36, travels, whereby -.istering portions of the carrying-head 8 by screws or in any other suitable manner. best shown in Figs. 1,-5, 6 and 7. It is thus evident that a raising and lowering of the slide-member 31 communicates similar movements to the head 8 and parts carried thereby on the guide 6.

The slide 32 carries a stud or roll 39 in position to ride on the top edge of the pattern-wheel whereby a rotation of such wheel communicates predetermined reciprocatory movements to said slide according to the formation of the wheelperiphery. A bell-crank lever 40 is fulcrumed for vertical rocking movements to a bracket-arm 41 projecting from the left side of the frame 1,

and this lever has one arm projecting upward and forward from its fulcrum and carrying-an anti-friction roll 42 in outward thrust contact with a plate 43, which is disposed at the rear side of the left end portion of the carrier head 8 and has arms 44 extending over and under the same and fixedly attached to the adjacent end of the slide-plate 9. The other arm of the lever 40 projects inwardly through a registering opening 45 in the adjacent side of the framepart 1 and rests loosely on alug 46 projecting into said opening from the slide 32.

A finger 47 projects rearwardly from the right hand end of the slide-plate 9 and has a cable 48 projecting therefrom longitudinally of the slide-plate over a sheave 49 and carrying a weight 50 at its free end. The sheave 49 is carried by an arm 51 projecting rearwardly from the frame-part 2. It. is thus evident that the weight 50 urges the slide-plate 9 tohave movements in a direction to maintain the plate 43 in thrust contact with the roller at the end of the lever 40, and that the slide-plate 9 is moved in the opposite direction against the resistance of the weight 50 by an upward movement of the slide 32, which effects an outward rocl-: ing movement of the upright arm of the lever 40.

The peripheral shapes or forms of the pattern-wheels 29 and 30 are not specifically described, as such shapes are changed to suit the size and styles of the brush-baclrs and the relative positioning and spacing of the holes and bristle-tufts in respective blocks, and no claim is therefore made to any specific form of pattern-wheels.

When the work-holder plate 10 is provided with two pair of brush-back clamping parts at each end portion thereof, as shown in the present instance, the pairs of the sets are so arranged that when a brush-back carried by a clamp ofone set is in working register with the drill 3 the brush-back carried by the corresponding clamp of the other set is in working register with the filler nozzle 4. During a drilling and filling of the respective brush-backs 20 and 20 which are in register with the drilling and filler parts, the plates 9 and 10 move to gether as a unit with the dog 24 working at one side only of the pin 26, the movement of such plates being determined by the formation of the pattern-cam 30, whereby to properly direct the successive placing of the holes in one brush-back and the bristletufts in the other brush-back as the work continues. Upon the completion of the drilling and filling of the respective brushbacks 20 and 20 which are in register with the drilling and-filler parts, the patternwheel 30 and parts connecting it with the slide-plate, and the dog 24 and associated parts will cotiperate to effect a sudden shifting of the worleholder plate 10 a suflicient distance in one direction or the other, as the case may be, to move the brush-backs 20 and 20 carried thereby, and which have not been operated on, into working register with the respective drilling and tiller parts.

It will be understood from the previous description of the dog 24 and its enacting parts that upon a sufiicient predetermined movement of the plates 9 and 10in unison to cause the dog 24 to coact with the pin 26 whereby to cause a shifting or rocking of such dog, that the work-holder plate 10 will have a greater movement than the plate 9, or in other words a sufficient movement to place the spring detent 21 into engagement with the other notch in the part 22. The augmenting of the plate moving or controlling action of the pattern-wheel 30 by the action of the dog means 24, 25, 26 prevents the necessity of providing the wheel 30 with as abrupt or decided a shifting surface as would otherwise be the case.

In order to shortenthe length of the jumping movements of the brush-back holder-plate 10 during the shifting of different brush-backsinto operativepositicn. it is preferable to so direct the vertical and hori zontal movements of the plate 10 that the commencement and completion of the drilling and filling operations of the brush-backs pleted. The progress of the successive drilling or filling operation on the brush-back intermediate the points a and b may take the course indicated by the arrows in the left brush-back or it may take any other desired or suitable course. \Vhen the drilling or filling of one brush-back has been completed each set of brush-backs is moved so that the drilling or filling operation will commence at the point a on the next back to be operated on, and such operation will thence continue in any desired course on such brush back and preferably terminates at or adjacent to the point (Z, which is opposite and adjacent to the starting point a onthe companion brush-back. It will be understood that the starting and stopping points on the respective brush-backs shown in Fig. 8 are merely illustrative, and that the operation of the machine is not restricted to such diagram.

52 designates the main drive-shaft of the machine.- Thisshaftis journalc'd in' the part 2 transversely thereof and. in the present instance, carries a loose belt pulley 53 and axially shiftablc enacting clutch member 54: at one end and a crank-wheel at its other end. A shipper-lever 56 for the clutch member 54; is fulcrumcd to the franiepart 2at one end and has its other end connected to a treadle-rod 57 through'the medium of a link and hell-crank lever connection A spring 57 acts on thctrcadlerod 57 to urge the connected clutch parts out of engagement.

A catch 'memhei GOis pivotclto the frame-part 2 and is adaptcd to engage a projection 61 on the link 53 to retain the shipper-lever 56 in clutch engaging position. The catch member 0 has connection with a hand control lever ('12. through themcdium of a "link--63. and such link also has connection through, a rod (rt with a rocker-arm on a shaft (36, which shaft is journaled in the rear portion of the frame part1 and has an arm 67 projecting therefrom into position to he engaged and moved uv' a pin 68 on the ratchet-wheel 27 at each rcvolution of said ratchet wheel when the catch member is in engagement with the projection 61. A coiled contractile spring (39, which connects the lever 62 to a part of the frame '2, acts on such lever and. eonncctci'l parts to urge the catch-member(i0 into position to engage the projection (ll and retain v the clutch parts in engagement, as shown in Fig. 3. \Vhcn the pin US on the ratchetwheel coacts with the arm 67. such arm is rocked a predetermined extent and a consequent clutch releasing movement imparted to the member 60. v

The crank-wheel 55 has itscrank-pin connected, in the present instance, by a link 70 to a vertically-disposed lever 71, which is fulcrumcd at its lower end to the frame part 2 and has its upper end connected to the filler-plunger 72, whereby a bristle-tuft ejecting movement is impartedto the plunger 72 at each revolution of said c'rankwheel. through a rod 73 with the lower end of a vertically-disposed lever 74, which is fulcrumed to one side of the frame-part 1, as at T5, and has its-upper end in link connection,

The lever 71 also has connection at 76, with the rear end portion of the f slide The lever 74' in addition to serving to communicate predeterminedreeiprocatory movements to the table5 from the rod 73- also has connection at one end with a pawlsis" 77, which is in driving connection with the ratchet-wheel I teeth. The connection be- Y tween the lever 7i and pawl 77, in the presentinstance, comprises a rock-shaft 78, which is fulcrumed to the frame-part 1, a rocker-lever 79 carried thereby, and a rocker-arm 80 which is also carried by the shaft '78 and carries'the pawl 77 at its outer end. Aspring 81 yieldingly urges the upper end of the rocker-lever -79 in stop-contact with a stud 9-3 on the frame 1. A finger 83 l is fixed to and projects from the lever 74v and has thrust contact with the lower end of the lever T9 in position to oppose the pull of the spring 81 on the lever. It is thus.

evident thata movement of the lever 74 one direction will impart a positive rocking movement to the lever 79 against the tension of the spring 31' and move the pawl 77in wheel. driving direction, and that a movement of the lever 7+ in the opposite direction will permit the spring 81 to retract the lever-.79 and c (feet a back dragging of the pawl 77 relative to the ratchet wheel.- The specific construction of this mechanism is not pertinent to the present application and is thcrc'torc not dcscrihed'in detail.

I .\n adjustable screw 8+ is carried by the and coacts rcar end portion of the table o with air alining portion of the frame 1 to limit the forward movements of the table.

if there is any rearward movement of the rod I 72-; after the stop-screw Si strikes the alining .i'ramc part. such movement is compensated for by a yielding conncction 85 between the rod 7? and lever 74.

A hcvcl gear R6 is fixed. in the present inat one side of its center and having clamped a pair of drilled brush-backs 20 either of the same or different styles, to said holderplate at the other side of its center, depresses the treadle-bar 57 to throw the clutch-member 54: into engagement with the drive-pulley or member 53 to startthe machine. As intermittent or step by step rotary move- I ments are imparted to the ratchet-wheel 27 during a running of the machine the pattern-wheel 29 moves the'slide 31 and coacting lever 36 to impart vertical reciprocatory movements to the carrier-head 8 as the drilling and filling of holes in respective brush-backs in upward and downward extending rows may require. The vertical'spacing of holes in the brush-backs and the placing of bristle-tufts therein is determined either by the length of each intermittent movement of the ratchet-wheel or by the formation of the cam surface of the pattern-wheel 29, as may be convenient or desired. The rotation of the pattern-wheel 30 in unison with the pattern-Wheel 29 cooperates with the mechanism connecting such wheel to the slide-plate 9 and with the weight 50 to control and direct the horizontal reciprocatory movements of the plates 9 and 10 relative to the head 8 during the vertical reciprocatory movements of such head, so as to determine the horizontal spacing of the vertical extending rows of holes in the brush-backs and the placing of the bristles therein and also the course or form of such vertical rows. When the drilling of a brushback of one pair and the filling of a brushback of the'other pair have been completed the holder-plate 10 will have moved into position to place the driller and filler parts at the edges of the respective brush-backs being operated on in adjacent relation to the other brush-backs of the respective pair. At this point the mechanism controlling the unitary horizontal movements of the plates 9 and 10 shifts such plates a sufiicient extent in onedirection or the other as the case may he to cause the stationary pin 26 to co'act with and swing the dog 24 on its pivot, which movement of the dog effects a relative shifting of the plates 9 and 10 and a pro ection or movement of the holder-plate 10 into position to place the other brush-back of each pair into position'to be operated on by the respective drilling and filler parts. TVhen the respective drilling and filling of these brush-backs has been completed and the holder-plate 10 has returned to its initial starting position, the ratchet-wheel 27 will have moved a suflicient distance for the pin 68 to strike and rock the trip-arm 67, whereby to effect an automatic stopping of the machine due to the throwing of the catch member 60 from engagement with the part 61 of. the clutch mechanism.

It is evident that while I have shown my machine as adapted for the drilling and filling of successive brushes of respective pairs without stopping, the invention is not limited to any particular number of brushbacks successively operated on in this manner, but contemplates the successive filling and drilling of a plurality of brush-backs of respective sets in a continuous operation, which backs may be of the same or difierc'it styles depending upon the formation of the pattern-wheels.

It is to be understood that my invention is not limited to any specific construction or arrangement of the parts except in so far as such limitations are specified in the claims.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Let ters Patent, is, I
